What to do with the polarity in our society

We are now living in a polarized society sharply divided into two antagonizing groups, where there is no middle ground. In such a society, the two extreme factions easily become hostile monsters trying to eliminate each other. The inevitable outcome is the total annihilation of society.

Recently, I watched a 2020 American film, “The Hunt.” At first, I thought that the movie was just another man-hunting thriller, evoking Richard Connell’s classic story, “The Most Dangerous Game.” Soon, however, it turned out to be a pungent parody of the current polarization between the Left and the Right, or liberalism and conservatism in contemporary global society these days.

In “The Hunt,” a group of white-collar people kidnap blue-collar workers to hunt and kill them for sport. These days, some people say that America is divided by left-wing elites and right-wing working-class people. Yet, “The Hunt” defies such oversimplified categorization.
